With the holidays right around the corner, we are so excited to once again be hosting our very own “Bloomie Awards” to recognize everyone’s most favorite wedding of the year. The grand prize winner will receive $100, and we will make a donation of equal value to the charity of the winning couple’s choice. The 2011 Bloomie Award went to Sarah and Dennis, who had a beautiful wedding at West Park Winery , and chose to donate to the Noah Christopher Smith Fund. The 2010 Bloomie Awards winners were Jesse and Amanda, for their unbelievable Onteora Mountain House Wedding. Their charity of choice was The Capital District Community Gardens.
To Enter the Contest:
We will be posting a blog about each one of our 2012 weddings, so all of our couples will automatically be entered. If we have not received professional photos from you, we will post whatever ones we may have taken before we delivered your flowers (which hopefully we did, it was such a busy season for us that we were unable to photograph a lot of our events). If your event is already live on our blog and you would like to add anything, please just let us know! If you wish to send us your own personalized submissions here is what we suggest:
Pro Pics- Please make sure they are roughly 640x 480 pixels, give or take. Also please check with your photographer to be sure we are able to post their work on our blog, we always give photo credit, but still double check with them first. Also check with any friends and family if they are in your pictures, to be sure we can post photos of them.
Complete Vendor List- Please include as many parties as you can (caterer, event coordinator, dress designers, musicians…) along with their current contact info so we may properly credit everyone.
A Brief Paragraph or Two- This is optional, but you may also submit a summary of your event, in your own words.
All submissions MUST be sent to us by noon on Thanksgiving day, we cannot make any exceptions.
To Vote:
Vote for your favorite 2012 wedding on our Facebook page by liking the post about that event! All of our 2012 couples are welcome to participate, regardless of how big or small your event was; and regardless of whether or not you received recognition on other publications. Absolutely Everyone Can Vote!
We hope to have all of our 2012 wedding blogs from April-October (our late fall and December events will be entered in 2013’s Bloomie Awards) updated by December 5th for you to cast your votes, and many events have already been posted. Our deadline for casting votes will be December 15th at 8:00 p.m.
Good Luck to All!!!
